I love you so much more than words could ever say
I know it sounds cliché but it’s the simple truth
I could pen a million poems ‘til my dying day
I’ve been trying to convey it since my days of youth
I’ve been striving to write and arrange the perfect verse
The one that captures the sensation through and through
But the compositions seem to fall short and terse
In search for the words to describe this point of view
My emotions run deeper than all the oceans
But you know how I can be with hyperboles
Like a manic state with an endless devotion
Bubbling in my core at over a thousand degrees
And when it’s just too much it finally erupts
The words flow with slow and torrid conjugation
Down a long and tortuous path that can disrupt
This baptism of pure fire and salvation
Well now, this is quite loaded with some serious wording! Not easy I am sure, to carry the rhymes along as you did.
And, it’s a rewarding read, that I enjoyed very much.
Thank you very much Styxian. I’ve been trying to have more control over that meter and syllable count the pieces flow, so it’s a little more work but I’m liking it so far.
Beautifully penned, Wally. Excellent write my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Thanks Damian.
I find myself more immersed in trying to stay with that meter and syllable count with my latest work but I’m enjoying it.
Professionally done, Wally. Each followed the same syllable count and I like the alternating rhyme scheme. And for the meaning, I think the chosen words are just right to convey the yearnings of the heart. 🙂
Thank you Tim. I’ve been working more on that lately. I usually go off script or rhythm, or make the lines longer with internal rhyme added with wordplay. I have several goals for 2026 and hope to up my game.
